Buyers may choose this fully equipped country estate near the Algarve for its private lake, sandy beach, accommodation and established business infrastructure. Priced at €1,995,000, the Alentejo property near Mértola offers 122 hectares for private enjoyment or a carefully planned rural tourism operation. It provides a quieter alternative to coastal property while remaining approximately 60 minutes from Algarve beaches. The estate includes a modern three-bedroom house with an open-plan kitchen and living area. From the house, owners can look across the infinity pool towards the lake and surrounding countryside. The 9m by 4m private saltwater pool creates a luxurious focal point for relaxing, entertaining and holiday use. A 50,000 m² private lake delivers an exceptional range of outdoor experiences on the doorstep. Fishing, canoeing and swimming are possible, and a boat for water sports is included in the sale. The lake is complemented by a small sandy beach and a dedicated area for activity equipment. Four independent bungalows provide additional guest accommodation, each with approximately 40 m², a kitchen and a private terrace. The bungalows are described with two- and three-bedroom layouts and are in the final licensing phase. A licensed 268 m² event pavilion can accommodate around 150 participants for corporate functions, celebrations or organised retreats. Its professional kitchen, sound systems, screens, parking and barbecue facilities allow a wide variety of group uses. Motorhome infrastructure creates scope for welcoming touring guests alongside bungalow visitors. The fenced 122-hectare grounds include tracks for hiking, mountain biking and motocross. Approximately 100,000 pine trees may add future agricultural value, with the first pine nut harvest anticipated in 2027. Solar water heating, photovoltaic equipment, boreholes and estate-wide water pipes support practical, more self-sufficient management. The main house also benefits from modern fittings, double glazing, air conditioning and countryside views. Mértola, Almodôvar and the Guadiana River are around 25 minutes away, while golf is approximately 60 minutes distant. Faro International Airport can be reached in about 80 minutes, supporting international tourism and ownership. The varied facilities create rental, events and activity potential, although projected ROI should be verified with financial and licensing advice.
